IBM Rational Software Development Conference 2006 call papers is open and
closes January 16. This year, there is a new Open Computing track.

Open Computing: Open Source to Open Standards
The use of open standards keeps the computing world from becoming a Tower
of Babel. Open standards allow disparate networks to interconnect,
machines to interoperate, and applications to communicate. Some open
standards are certified by committees, while others become de facto
standards due to widespread adoption.
Open source has taken the world by storm. There seem to be open source
technologies for just about everything from development tools, to
application servers, to CRM systems. Linux is one of the fastest growing
operation systems and is used on everything from mainframes to PDAs.
Eclipse has become the foundation of the vast majority of non-.net
development tools. The Apache Web server is the industry standard. In
fact, there are open source solutions for just about every type of
software, and good ones. Finally we recognize that and give it its due
with a track dedicated to open source at the conference.
Open standards and open source are the focus of this track. They're not
the same thing, but one can lead to the other. Their value and model,
approval and adoption, and the wide variety of available solutions should
be reviewed. Sessions can cover either or both. Sessions can address how
non-open source products add value and justify their price. Sessions might
address widely-used technology provided by a single vendor in spite of a
corresponding open standard. Technical sessions that include hands-on
demos of some of the more popular and powerful open source technologies
should be well attended. Sessions that approach open source and open
standards from other angles are welcome. Testers, developers, designers,
architects, and even CTOs should learn from the sessions in this track
about open standards and the variety and value of open source solutions,
how open source works, and the future of open source and open standards.
Suggested topics include the following:
How are open standards defined and adopted?
AJAX: finally true desktop independence
What's new at Apache (Geronimo, Derby, and others)?
Open source application servers, databases, and content managers
The many open standards bodies: OASIS, W3C, and more
How de facto standards defy "approved" equivalents
A brief history of open source
Open source in China and India
Open source CRM and other business solutions
Open source development frameworks: Spring, Hibernate, and others
Open source development tools
All things Eclipse
Free software vs. open source software: there is a difference
IBM and open source: participation and policy
Open source Instant Messaging
Open source is more than Java
How is open source licensed?
Linux topics
How is Microsoft supporting open source?
Mule: an open source ESB
OpenOffice.org vs. Microsoft Office
Open source operating systems: are they secure?
Object Oriented PHP
Developing SCA-based applications with open source tools
The SCA proposed open standard
The ROI of open source
Ruby on Rails
A comparison of open source scripting languages
All about SourceForge.net?
Open source does not necessarily mean open standards
Open source Web sites
Why open source: is it worth it?
Why NOT open source: how to add value beyond open source and continue to
sell software
A survey of WS-* open standards
How open source leads to adopted open standards
XML: how it became an open standard and why
